yes, it is D virginiana. They are quite prolific in our area. I'm not too big on the fruit flavor, yuck. What is the old tale, when you split a persimmon seed if it looks like a fork we will have a snowy winter, if it is a knife it will be icy, and if a spoon, warm? something like that. i have never looked. I like the blocky bark.
